- Good Stepping Stone for Early Reading
- I purchased the Bob Books for my two and a half year old daughter and within two weeks she was reading her very first book on her own. Since my daughter already recognizes the letters of the alphabet, I wanted her to learn letter and sound recognition. These books have been incredibly helpful in early reading skills.

- Mom in Columbia, MD
- When my daughter's teacher told me that she was reading below average, I needed to take matters into my own hands. I researched alot of "learn to read" books online and decided that the Bob Books were the best option available. Boy was that an understatement! These books are great! They are great for many reasons...
1. The words are very easy for children to learn and remember (usually rhyming words).
2. The books are short -- so success comes very quickly.
3. The book are fun -- "Mat sat. Sam sat. Mat sat on Sam."
My daughter enjoys reading her Bob Books and loves sharing them with her sister and her Dad.
Highly recommended for any child just learning to read. - 2006-11-20, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great consistency for early readers
- We borrowed the former packaging of these from the library a few times and decided they were excellent. My son, a kindergartener who knows many site words, is over 1/2 way through this set with very little problem. These are some of the first books he's "read". These books help him work through any problems he encounters because they are so consistent with the sounds presented in each book. They also stick to simple words, which is an area where many other early reading books fail. They always seem to stick a more difficult word in the story because they can't figure out one that'll fit. We never have that problem with the Bob books. We also like these because they have many of his sight words he's learning at school. We reinforce those words while introducing more easy words. Once he masters this set, we will move on to the 2nd set, which we've already purchased. And he really loves these because he can read to mom & dad and then we read more complex stories to him.
I also showed these to my neighbor and she immediately purchased a set for her grand-neice, who is also in kindergarten. - 2006-11-10, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Good phonics approach
- My daughter loves these books. The pictures seem to amuse her, and the words are easy for her to decode. I like how the books are sequenced to build on the previous vowel and consonant sounds learned.

- One of the BEST tools for beginning readers!
- These books are excellent for beginning readers because they can be used for learning sight words AND for beginning phonics. I HIGHLY recommend using Bob Books with a lesson book such as The Reading Lesson by Levin, et al. My children have had a clear advantage in ALL areas of their education, I believe due to learning to read (using these methods) before Kindergarten.
